You should make a library ladder. Add a railing for both sides and a ladder that you can hook on and move. It could stay stationary on the right side for aesthetic purposes but be practical for when you want to switch up your shelves.

@annehelenegroven Год назад

Yesss that's such a great idea 😁😁. I think that would look amazing. MaCenna is just such an amazing person ❤️🥰❤️

@Edu_Kate Год назад

DIY Wife made one a couple months ago. Check out her kids' playroom makeover video.

@jemma50 Год назад

I love the idea of a library ladder; however, I don't think there is enough space for one here. You really need a whole solid wall of bookshelves for a ladder not to intrude on the shelf decor. Or if the shelves were filled with just books, it could work.

@blahblah123436 Год назад

I wonder if there would be a way to make one that would function in the kitchen for the higher cabinets too. One ladder for both rooms

@sherylbentley3724 Год назад

Wonderful Ideal 💜

@5272caribou Год назад

I love how even on the “more” side, it’s not crammed full, there’s still room for the clusters to breathe and have their own moment. So visually appealing

@_SarahHolly Год назад

One option for your coffee table dilemma is to purchase brass feet to add to a wooden table you love! Etsy shops have lots of options for the size and shape of the brass feet.

@gypsyrhodescovers Год назад

I love this idea! And if anyone could actually make a coffee table and add brass feet...it's MaCenna!

@ceer9141 Год назад

"Every room like a library" feel is definately 100% me. I'm a maximalist, moody vibes, these shelves are beautiful!!! 😍

@annkaufmann2549 Год назад

MaCenna - your bust is a copy of David - a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture, created in marble between 1501 and 1504 by the Italian artist Michelangelo. 🤩🤩🤩

@JButler661 Год назад

I was just reading through the comments to see if anyone mentioned that. I love that statue.

@lemmingmeringuepie Год назад

My mum has a smaller version in the same style with the black base. She brought it back from a trip to Rome in the early 70s when she was 17. I would think that the one MaCenna has probably dates from the same time period and was also a holiday souvenir ☺

@ashraj2146 Год назад

Finally, the comment I've been looking for 😉 The original statue still exists in Galleria dell"Accademia in Florence, out of one piece of marble! Masterpiece, worth a look, I love Michaelangelos sculptures! 😍

@lenorepaladino8632 Год назад

The birds are quail. The flowers are peonies. Love your style!

@annajorgensen2043 Год назад

I think they might be partridges, since quail have that floopy thing on their heads. But maybe I just didn’t see it.

@Ruezy428 Год назад

@@annajorgensen2043 Not all quail have the plumage on their heads. I feel like they could be either partridge or quail. They're some sort of upland bird 😆

@makaylaanderson7327 Год назад

I’m pretty sure they’re quail as well just by by looking at the texture of all the feathers. Out of the countless pictures of partridges I looked at they lack that visual texture, or at least that’s what I think.

@denises9426 Год назад

I’m usually a minimalist but I LOVE how you did the “max” shelves, they’re both gorgeous!!

@LindaKayHolevas Год назад

This episode MaCenna- “I can’t find the perfect coffee table. I want it wood & brass, etc” Next Episode MaCenna- “since I couldn’t find the perfect coffee table, I am going to build one” 😊 Edit- I am definitely more of a maximalist, so that is the bookshelf I like the most, but both are beautiful.

@RaeC5280 Год назад

That's exactly what I was thinking! "... She's just going to build it herself" if anyone could, it's MaCenna!

@walkwithMilo Год назад

I swear she got some sort of brass inlay type stuff at an estate sale or flea market some time ago, I reckon she'll find it and it will all come to her in a flash, and we'll be watching a Sunday how to make a coffee table in no time!

@aliplay5 Год назад

that is exactly what I thought too haha

I know you and Romeo have a really tight schedule and so much on your plate. So I am so happy to see you both set an excellent example by taking time to rest when you possibly could. You’ve been pushing yourself so hard both of you. I hope you feel like 100% very soon🌷🌷

@shimmyshookmybones Год назад

You did a beautiful job with both, but I'm 100% maximalist! My dream bookshelf aesthetic is like a turn of the century explorer who's crammed their library with heavily read, well-loved books mixed in with artwork and mementos that bring back vivid memories from their travels. My *actual* current bookshelf aesthetic is more like... just Mess😅

@delicatedots Год назад

I'm still watching, but had to comment how much I love the top shelf of books!! Wow! Ok...back to the video!

@robynsnest22 Год назад

I love your new fairytale house in LA but I have to say I LOVE your being back at the cottage and working on that! Beautiful styling as always. Hope you and Romeo feel better soon. 💜

@daky9434 Год назад

I love the maximalist bookshelf!! The more books the better🤩

@EricaMEspino Год назад

I agree ! I used to style with less but now that my house is full of beautiful things I love it and it feels so homier.

@nenayrigoyen8624 Год назад

Macenna, I usually don’t comment on videos, but I just wanted to tell you that you are a huge inspiration! You have exquisite taste and you are so crazy-talented! I wish you Aaaall the best for you and your family ♥️

@robynbohbot3709 Год назад

I love both sides of the bookshelves - the decor all works well together. Thank you for the inspiration!

@cathymorrison22 Год назад

I am definitely a minimalist. When I see a bunch of stuff all I see is "dust". So much stuff to have to dust off. But I'm an old woman and I've mellowed out so much that I don't want any extra work.You're young enough and have the energy to take care of it all- boy do you have energy!

@lindaga820 Год назад

I CAN TOTALLY RELATE CATHY, I'M ALMOST 73 and I think of the dust factor too ! I'M TRYING TO SIMPLIFY MY HOME A LOT!

@RebeccaTreeseed Год назад

I'm 69 and have cut down on the dust factor too. I gave my son and his wife an "estate sale" day and they took a moving truck full of stuff to their empty house! I sized down much easier without having to move so much.

@debstrout1844 Год назад

I thought the same thing, I can't imagine getting a ladder out each week or two to dust but I'm getting older all the time! I love the "more" side and have missed the cottage. Hope you and Romeo get better soon, there is so much stuff going around.

@2FullMoons Год назад

I’m only 26 and all I can think about is dust too LMAO but I also appreciate a more clean, less cluttered space for comfort reasons. I feel more relaxed in spaces that don’t visually distract me a lot.

@susinok Год назад

Same! Dusting all that is not fun at all, and it accumulates every week.

@boniwales Год назад

I loved how calm this video was , the fact that there was no music and it was just you decorating, it felt like a dream, and you look as cute as a button. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤

@sandrasanders9290 Год назад

I love all the vintage books across the top shelves. Beautiful. I’m with you and like more things, especially things that have a meaning or remembrance. I hope you and Romeo keep feeling better!

@toniclark3110 Год назад

Looks awsome!! So cozy, I'm normally a minimal person but with shelves or bookcases I like more, it looks full! Love the sounds of the fire cracking in the background!!

@ksl2634 Год назад

Welp, I guess I'm a maximalist! 😄 Either that or I just really enjoy the use of books more heavily on that side of the fireplace. Always loved the idea of a moody academia feel 📚 🕯

@lipstickstories2409 Год назад

Can’t wait much longer for the kitchen cabinets! Aaaaah! Excited for that day!

@robynsnest22 Год назад

And that beautiful range!!!!

@missmollychips2598 Год назад

I definitely love the more maximum side. Looks more cozy. Love everything you've done here and can't wait too see the next rooms.❤

@freddieblack3751 Год назад

I'm more minimal in my home but I love to experiment with different looks especially with so much shelving space life this. Small pockets of busy, but organized and intentional areas are so nice to have in a space. Thank you for the inspiration while I contemplate a new look in my house for the coming months!

@tondapatterson5297 Год назад

So glad you are back at the cottage. It's my favorite!

@MariaGonzalez-nw8hr Год назад

I love both houses, but definitely the Texas house is my favorite one. I really love everything in this house!❤

@sheilahoyle1165 Год назад

I love the more that you have on the right. Thank you for this because my living room has 4 bookcases which I kept looking over at it as you were decorating and with your ideas going to change it a little bit.

@itsallaboutperspective3183 Год назад

The vintage books on top plus the library feel, definitely did it for me. Hard work is good for the soul & yields gr8 results.

@pw4075 Год назад

I like the way both shelves have been styled ... hard to choose but the maximalist style won out. As for the coffee table dilemma --- have you thought about looking at vintage chests or something that is vintage that maybe you could add brass elements to yourself? I love your new LA home but the TX cottage is my fav. It has your heart stamped throughout.

@SeaTurtle515 Год назад

I like the more curated side, it’s not over done by any means and what’s really nice is that you get to display the items you love and have been collecting for a long time. Those built ins are gorgeous, even if they were empty.

@leezasims9959 Год назад

Oooooh the process, the thoughts, the advice, the memories....,priceless content... this was fun .... thank you ❤It all looks and feels great!!!!!!!

@diandreawilliams1799 Год назад

Doing the books all the way across the top shelf looks fantastic. I love the whole look as well. Great job.

@todayplay8532 Год назад

So I already knew coming into this video I was a maximalist! This proves it! I love the shelf on the right, not saying the left doesn't look good, but we both know the extra space will be filled before long! If you were decorating for a client that would be a good start to help them form ideas and have room to grow. And the brass birds are a pair of Quails.

@Homesick4Hills Год назад

I love it. Art, classical Greek statue, books....library vibes for sure. The birds are quail.

@barbharris8376 Год назад

I don't think they are quail no top notch, maybe partidge.

@Homesick4Hills Год назад

@@barbharris8376 Yeah maybe they could partridge now that you mention it. The designer made the figurines kind of ambiguous and could pass for both birds.

@amanda-annenicholson5899 Год назад

They look like turtle doves….and since they are brass I would assume they were original a Christmas decoration.

@Homesick4Hills Год назад

@@amanda-annenicholson5899 I'm so not sure anymore lol Yeah it could be those too.

@normaochavez6484 Год назад

@darlenesansing8758 Год назад

Love the maxi side and the little brass birds are quail. My mom also had these same birds on the coffee table when I was growing up in the 60’s and 70’s. You have helped me with color and design. Decorating my bookcases is now going to be easier with your help. Thanks for sharing!

Oh so wonderful MaCenna, you did a beautiful job styling those shelves. Someone suggested making a library ladder and that could look really unique and good, also with the railing for both sides so you can hook the ladder onto it and climb up it to change anything on the shelves and it will have that cool look and stay stationery on either the left or right and then use it also. I am loving how this cottage is turning out, so many beautiful things.
